SOUTHERN OUTRAGEs.-When the
executive and both houses of Congress
were Republican, outrages at elections
in the South were considerably more
rife and more serious than they are at
present. We do not mean to say that
this is case of cause and effect, but
simply that the political complexion of
the government has nothing directly
to do with outrages. The Republican
party could not put stop to them
when it was in full power, and they
have not entirely ceased now when the
Democrats have control of the execu-
tive department and of the lower house.
They will be diminished by the pro-
gress Of civilization, and the most
efectual way of contributing to this
result is by increasing the number of
schools, churches, books, newspapers,
and other agencies of enlightenment in
the region in which they prevail. The
application of this method, however,
is scarcely within the competency of
the Senate, and perhaps the best course
open to that body to take with regard
to an election now in Texas is the same
that it would take with regard to an
election row in New Hampshire, to
wit, to do nothing at ALL IN. Y.

FREE TRADE.

The reduction of internal revenue
and the taking off of revenue stamps
from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt
has largely benefited the consumers.
as well as relieving the burden of home
manufacturers. Especially is this the
case with GREENS AUGUST FLOWER
and BosCHEE's GERMAN SYRUP, and
the reduction Of thirty-six cents per
dozen, has been added to increase the
size of the bottles containing these
remedies, thereby giving ono-ifth more
medicine in the 7j-cent size. The
AUGUST FLOWER for Dyspepsia and
Liver Complaint, and the GERMAN
SYRUP for Cough and Lung troubles,
have perhaps, the largest sales of any
medicine in the world. The advantage
of increased size of the bottles will be
greatly appreciated by the sick and
afflicted, in every town and village in
civilized countries. Sample bottles for
10 cts. remain the same size.

The renewal of telegraph poles and fin

tutes n large item, The loss to the sgri-
cultural interests is much greater. The
tenth census reports the cost of fencing
in 1879 at $717G3, 473, the most of
which was for repairs. The loss caused
by fungi on the 100000 dwellings,
with their accompanying buildings, and
tho S4O6,52O,O5j worth OF agricultural
implements which appear in tho census

Why He Never Married.

People have often wondered that a
man of Mr.. Tilden's vast wealth, do
nestle tastes, and political prominence
remained bachelor all his life Rumor
has it that during his college days at
the New York University he met and
loved the daughter OF one of the leading
Democratic statesmen of that time She
was a beautiful girl, charming alike in
the graces of her person and in her in
tellectuality. Her beauty and wit at
tracted many suitors, but Mr. Tidcn's
cultured IN rare qualities Of mind cap
tiyated her. He was brilliant con-
vcrsationalist and had lofty aspirations,
and the evidences of his ability TO
achieve prominence were so marked
that the beautiful girl pledged her heart
and fortunes to his Keeping They were
engaged to be married in the spring of
lS47, the year after Mr.. Tilden had be-
come Il member of tho State Legisla-
turc. She accompanied her father to
Washington, where he went TO spend
the winter of that year in looking after
government matters in which he was
interested. While there she was great
favorite in society and entered heartily
into all its pleasures. In the month of
March she was stricken with BRAIN
fever, which left her u hopeless inn
beetle.
Not MANI Yeas ago he formed an at
tachment for daughter of the late
Prof. S. +. b. Morse and offered her his
heart and hand. The lady did not
look with favor on his suit although
the advantages of the connection were
SO great and it was so warmly advo-
Gated by her own family, Mr., Tilden'S
proposal was twice declined. But his
want of success made no difference in
the friendly feelings of the parties con-
cerned, and when, shortly afterward,
Miss Leila Morse married Mr.. Frank

The Portland OregOnian relates u
story of portly and jolly government
official who went out of his office one
day last week without his cane. "Oh!"
said he, 81 must 90 back. That is bad
luck" So to avert the threatened evil
he marched back into the Office, sat
down, took half dollar from his
pocket, laid it upon his desk, turned it
aver and then replaced it in his pocket,
He then took his cane and marched
out with cheerful heart. OF course,
he did not believe in this hocus-pocus
business, but then he had heard tho
omen all his life, and it could do no
harm to go through the rigmarolo, SO
he went through it.
